New October deadline looms for tax returns

HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) is issuing an alert to anyone filing a Self Assessment tax return on paper - submit your return by the end of October, or risk a £100 penalty.

From this year, there are now two different deadlines for paper and online tax returns - 31 October for paper and 31 January for online.

If you file a paper tax return, and haven’t filed yet, you need to get all the relevant information together now, such as your P60, self employment accounts, savings and investments records, and details of any untaxed income. Then make sure you get your paper return to HMRC by Friday 31 October.

Davenports file all there returns electronically/online giving their clients more time to get things ready, if required. If you require assistance with your self-assessment or personal tax why not contact us
